Need value check from experts 84 Carrera

[Rich Gas]

I'm changing tactics....

[Nachtfalter]

Looks like a nice car and relatively low mileage. Engine is beautiful. My guess... Low 34k high 42k.
And climbing daily.

[Rich Gas]

Thank you Nachtfalter, I appreciate the feedback. I hope to sell to a Pelican who can appreciate the work.

[Matt Monson]

I would put it in the same ballpark. Put it out there around $37.5k and be willing to take something in the $32-35k range.

[NYNick]

I like the $35k number. Should sell quickly at that.

Looks like a nice car. Remember eBay is for advertising, not selling. Don't mess around with Paypal. Wire transfer is best. GLWS.

Cheers

Wire transfer only. You'll have your money instantly though I'd wait a couple of hours for it to appear at your bank.
Really easy to set up and perfectly safe if the buyer actually has the money.

Paypal is too easy to reverse payment and they won't necessarily be your friend if a problem occurs. (plus somebody has to pay the paypal fees - usually seller)

Too many scammers out there.
A paper bag full of cash is good too, but best to do somewhere REAL safe.

Great information d and bobby. I'm a newb when it comes to selling stuff. I appreciate the information, thanks.

Any tips on selling these things?

Yeah, PM Mooty.

In all seriousness put that on your local CL and it will sell in an afternoon. Your price will be too high for flippers and dealers. A bunch of the Rennlist GT3 guys (like Mooty) have air cooled fever. And they seem to have a hard on for Guards Red, unlike most of us here. Send me the ad wherever you list it and I'll put it in front of the NorCal RListers.

[COLB]

Your description forms the basis of a pretty good ad.

The only gaps I see are maintenance records and the condition of the A/C, which looks to be a R134a conversion (to some degree), but without a belt. What is the story there?

If you are looking to sell quick, I think a $37-39k price is about right -- start high and give yourself some negotiating room.

Pictures are key -- all panels with VIN stickers, underside shots of the engine & trans, etc.

[Rich Gas]

Hey Colb, thanks for the input. I have a huge stack of records, maybe a ten year gap early on where the original owner didn't want to share. I mentioned them early on. Took the A/C belt off for performance reasons, really. Didn't know it was converted, will check that.

I don't want top dollar, just a fairly priced, seamless, quick sale to a knowledgeable buyer.

Rich "I've Got" Gas, wuts up with this selling ****, my friend?! Please don't say yer shopping for a Targa !!!

[otif]

That's a very nice car! FYI... A friend recently sold one down here in Miami, in very similar shape, with almost identical miles for $42K. The buyer didn't even flinch. He's in the biz, and typically if you are, your book of buyers is larger than if you're not, but it's a comp none the less.

Although I agree with the numbers being thrown around on this thread, I'd keep that $42K in mind.

Either way, it's a beautiful car. GLWS, and please post the selling price if you don't mind.

You know where to find one? My '74 didn't pan out today. I don't really want to back to considering a Coxster.

[Rich Gas]

Thanks Otif, I'll keep the big number in mind. I would like to think my 911 is one of the good ones. I've put a lot of time and money into making it safe and reliable.

[NYNick]

The West Coast and Northeast seem to draw higher numbers. I agree wit Colb that a high $30's # will give you some negotiating room. Don't kid yourself...you will get inundated with inquiries, along with some low ballers and scam artists.

Tread carefully. Local deals are always easier and quicker. You don't need to go national with this one. It will probably be a West Coast buyer anyway. Forget Ebay. You don't need it. Pelican and CL should do it quickly.

GLWS. You sound like you're ready, willing and able. Just the ticket for someone who is ready to buy. I would be surprised if you haven't received PM"s already!!!

[Rich Gas]

Thanks NYNick, have to get mentally prepared for the weirdness. I'm getting great advice from you guys. I'll keep it local. No PMs yet...

Matt, maybe this one's for sale?! I heard that this happened when the driver attempted to negotiate a 5 mph sweeper - too much chassis flex for that speed = a loss of control!

PS - please just say NOOOOOOO, to the thought of a Richard Simmons mobile!!!!




Rich, all the best with the sale. And dayuuummmnnnn, I was hoping you had yer eyes on a Turbo, or something!!!

[Rich Gas]

Hey Ron, yeah the wife nixed the Turbo deal again... Downsizing sucks. I'd have to buy one like Robby's and weld a roof on it, or one without a motor.
